Quite agree the website should be the priority not Facebook somebody was saying there was something about Scott's band on Facebook not sure if it was on the speedway page or not as I to don't do Facebook either. 

Maybe this is an age thing? I would guess the majority of the younger audience, who the club are trying to attract, use social media like facebook. I must admit, I am on facebook, but very rarely use it, but I know it's a staple of most young people.

I thought Scott’s Band song was rather good which if it hadn’t have been on Facebook I wouldn’t have heard it

I used to use Facebook but one day got an obscene message from someone I did not know so I reported it to Facebook. They banned me as I had forwarded the message to them and they claimed that ,meant I had sent them an obscene message! They can shove Facebook where the sun doesn't shine as far as I am concerned these days.

I should've gone for a few beers like Gazc.

We were sitting in the beer garden with temperatures of 24 degrees all we needed was a pool and lager louts pi*sing in it and it could easily have been Benidorm.

Correct call it appears.

I always do. Mind you, I can't remember anybody from the club saying they had no interest in winning? But I'm in the dark ages, so you'll have to bring me up to date.

What other evidence do you need than to look at the team and most importantly the league table?

Lol yet again the sheep doesn't have an opinion of his own (no updates on the website yet telling you what it should be ?) so instead just tries to insult me. Behaviour of someone who's brain never managed to develop past the playground at first school.

The make up of the team is more to do with funds (or lack of), rather than any lack of ambition. If you don't have the money, you can't spend it. Plus this was basically the same team which missed out on the playoffs by a point last year. As for the league table, let's wait until we've ridden the same number of home meetings as other clubs.

To be honest I don't disagree with you that it is largely centred around a lack of funds which is fine. My issue is why are the fans then called out and blamed for not attending? I could understand if the racing was like what Bell Vue get every week so you were entertained no matter what. If that was the case I don't think alot of people would be bothered that they are bottom but surely people cant be blamed for not wanting to watch a poor product as well as a poor team?

Oh well , that was quite a downpour at 10 to 7 , bend 4 was underwater in no time . The earlier conversation about tyres was irrelevant as it would have needed to be jet skis . 

Never mind , we did a Berwick pub crawl instead , though there are one or two very strange pubs in Berwick

Yes I get that but surely they should also keep people of a certain age up to date as well.

Agree, what is the point of a Website if it does not have the upto date information available.
